Default Change outside tail light bulb?????

I'm trying to change the tail light bulb on the driver's side outside tail light on my 90 model. My flowmaster catback sticks out a little under the rear bumper, so I can't reach straight up to the light, I have to reach up at a slight angle. The problem is, I can't get my arm in between the bumper cover and the metal reinforcement of the bumper. Any suggestions? Anybody done this?

I don't know about a "90 but on my 95 I remove my license plate and go through the bigazz hole there!

I can reach the inside light from there but not the outside one. Arm is just not long enough.

You can reach it going through the inner tail lamp hole once you remove it. If its like my 92, remove the license plate, back up lamp and inner tail lamp assy. Not hard, just a little tight.

On a `95, don`t you just remove the two screws, & the lense from the outside to change a tail light bulb??
